Is he not Dr Radha Viswanathan's disciple ? Must also be following MS amma's style ??

After Amma moved to Bangalore 3 years back, Navaneeth has been learning from Smt Padma Narayanswamy in Madras.
He is passionate in whatever he does and ofcourse he has Amma's blessings always.

KNV,
May i know where he sang neraval for the krithi?

[KNV1955]

Rajesh Very alert. No he didn't sing neraval only swaram. I am wrong. His rendering of Kritis was excellent. It is in Raga Alapana he has to improve his manodharma & improve his breath control while singing in upper ranges. I am sure he will become a solid concert performer given his devotion as Cienu said. His singing of Viribhoni varnam was top class & set the right start for the concert. His tala keeping is neat (palichennu podukirar).
